About
A biotech fusion peptide meant to act like a high-tech skin bioactive, but it is still a fairly novel ingredient class.
This is a recombinant fusion peptide or protein produced by biotechnology and intended as a skin-conditioning bioactive. Topical exposure is likely low and these materials are usually used at tiny doses, but the ingredient is highly novel and lacks the safety familiarity of standard peptides, so a cautious score is justified.
Function
Skin benefits
- Supports the skin barrier or reduces moisture loss
Known concerns
- Highly novel biotech peptide with limited independent safety data.
- Protein-based ingredients can be sensitizing in some users.
